Utah’s Energy Landscape, 3rd Edition—2014 update

Book excerpt: Utah is fortunate to have abundant and diverse energy resources including large reserves of conventional fossil fuels, several areas suitable for renewable resource development, and vast quantities of untapped unconventional oil shale and oil sand resources. This publication, Utah's Energy Landscape, now in its third edition, was created to offer a complete, visual-based description of Utah's diverse energy portfolio. The graphs found within this document were created using data compiled by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) from several different sources, including the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the Utah Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining (DOGM), as well as in-house surveys and conversations with individuals and companies.
